MCKENZIE HIGH SCHOOL

McKenzie High School is a Title I public high school that is part of the McKenzie SD 68 school district, located in Finn Rock, OR with about 62 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education.
